Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Transradial catheterization is associated with radial artery injury and vasomotor dysfunction and represents an accessible model of acute vascular injury in humans. We characterized vascular injury and functional recovery to understand the role of circulating endothelial progenitor cells in vascular repair. METHODS AND RESULTS: In 50 patients (aged 64±10 years, 70% male) undergoing transradial cardiac...
